DC Comics will feature Superman and Wonder Woman as a couple in their
forthcoming Justice League comic.

The new storyline between Superman and Wonder Woman will start in the new Justice League #12 comic, released on August 29.

The duo will go from super-powered colleagues to power couple, according to writer Geoff Johns. Johns hinted that Superman and Wonder Woman will find solace in each other after an big event affecting every member of the Justice League.

There have been some romantic entanglements between the two in the past, but Johns said this will be a storyline that continues: "This is the new status quo" he said.

The pairing comes after DC Comics rebooted almost their entire comics range last year which erased details of Superman's marriage to Lois Lane.

The cover of the new issue shows Superman and Wonder Woman about to kiss while flying through the air, wrapped in Wonder Woman's lasso of truth. It was created by Jim Lee and inspired by Gustav Klimt's The Kiss and Alfred Eisenstaedt's V-J Day in Times Square.
